I wish I could remember the year this happened, the track or the races even, but it was one of my most memorable Tony moments.

He was racing in a Busch Series race for Gibbs. About halfway through the race, he came around turn 3 and the back end started spinning out. By the time he got to the middle of turn 4 he had turned into the grass and hit the infield wall.

Of course he was taken to the infield care center and released with no problem. Someone stuck a mic in his face and asked what happened..without skipping a beat he responds:

"Just ran out of talent".

I loved that! Only someone with complete confidence in themselves would have the guts to say that. Some people call him arrogant. I say it depends on which side of the fence you stand on. One persons arrogance is another persons confidence. And I love his!

This would have to be hard to name just one moment. I have two I cherish for him and his career. One was his first win at Indy. His interview was pure Tony. The tie was his win at Homstead for the race and his 3rd championship. I have a DVD of every second of this race and all the interviews after and I play this quite often. When Tony has a problem I feel bad for him which is odd as I don't know him never met him and I don't worry about what he says or to whom. That is his business. I don't think about his personal life either but the one thing I do follow is his foundation. This is one thing drivers do care about is their fans and what they do for the public. I hope there are tons more moments for us to rave about.

The Military Thanks You For Standing Behind Them. If You Can't Do that You Can Always Stand In Front Of Them.....Think About It.....

Thank you to those who took a step forward to save the rest who stand still.

I would have to say when I met him at the autograph event at the Office Depot before the Fontana race in 2011. He was in a really good mood and VERY flirty.... I could barely talk and had this huge, cheesey smile on my face the whole time. I felt like a dork but SOOO worth it.
